One of the passers-by

With the sound of "哗啦", Xue Yan crawled out of the soup pond with a face full of panic, and only said "I seem to have been soaking in the soup spring for too long, and I feel a little dizzy", before rushing to the side hall to enjoy the cool air without looking back.

Wei Ziqi leaned against the lotus-petal bluestone on the wall of the pool, quietly watching Xue Yan's fleeing back, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hook his lips.

When Wei Ziqi got up slowly and went to the side hall, Xue Yan, who was a step ahead, was already fully dressed and was sitting on the low couch waving his hands to fan the wind.Seeing Wei Ziqi enter the side hall, Xue Yan didn't even glance away, just stared at the wine in the glass with a smile and said, "I'm tired after a whole day of tossing and soaking in the hot spring for so long. Let's go back to sleep .”

Wei Ziqi agreed with a smile.After putting on the clothes leisurely and tidying up, Fang Xiao said to Xue Yan: "It's getting late, let's settle down."

Xue Yan looked at Wei Ziqi with a gentle face illuminated by the candlelight, and inexplicably felt that he seemed to be smiling a little too much today.

Could it be that you are laughing at yourself?

Xue Yan pursed his lips angrily, and said, "It's already hot here, if I sleep with other people on the same bed, I'm afraid I won't even be able to fall asleep. Brother Ziqi has to patrol the palace tomorrow morning. I don't want to disturb your rest, or should I change to another room?"

Xue Yan originally thought that Wei Ziqi would definitely agree to his request.Unexpectedly, when Wei Ziqi heard this, he frowned in embarrassment, and said softly: "It's so late, I'm afraid everyone is asleep. If we continue to make trouble, it's not good to wake others up. If Yan'er is afraid of heat, I will How about going out to sleep?"

"Then how can it work." Xue Yan turned pale with shock, quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm just afraid of disturbing Brother Ziqi's rest. If Brother Ziqi doesn't mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Wei Ziqi smiled knowingly.He led Xue Yan back to his room to rest.

Standing side by side in front of the couch, Xue Yan always felt that the person beside him seemed quiet, but actually exuded an unparalleled sense of presence around him.It was probably because the hot spring was just soaked in, and people were steaming hot. The word "nephrite and warm fragrance" popped up in Xue Yan's mind very unreliably——

Although this person is not soft at all, he is also bursting with warmth.

Just as he was thinking of going crazy, he suddenly heard Wei Ziqi say, "Why aren't you sleeping, but can't sleep?"

Xue Yan came back to his senses, and said cautiously: "No, I'm going to sleep."

Wei Ziqi looked at Xue Yan who became restrained and dared not move easily at some point, turned around, bent his arms as a pillow, and said with a smile: "What are you doing so far away from me, be careful not to fall to the ground."

The warm breath rushed towards the face, and instantly brushed the side of the neck and ears.Xue Yan only felt that his fine hairs stood up "whoosh", half of his arms and body were numb.

"It's really worthless." Xue Yan scolded himself secretly, and simply turned around like Wei Ziqi, and looked at Wei Ziqi's delicate and handsome face without any blemishes.He didn't speak, just watched.

Wei Ziqi looked back at Xue Yan regularly.The two stared at each other for a while, Xue Yan couldn't help but blinked sourly.Then Wei Ziqi said calmly: "You lost!"

What do you mean?

Seeing Xue Yan's pitiful appearance at a loss, Wei Ziqi was also a little uncertain, Hu asked: "Yan'er just now...wasn't he trying to wink before me?"

Xue Yan had no expression on his face, and looked at Wei Ziqi accusingly.

Wei Ziqi said, "I see. It seems that I misunderstood. I thought that although Yan'er was older, he had the same temperament as Wei and Jin, and they all loved these little tricks."

Hearing this, Xue Yan felt weak all over, turned his back to Wei Ziqi wearily, and said sullenly, "Don't disturb me, I'm going to sleep."

Wei Ziqi looked at Xue Yan curling himself up tightly under the quilt, and his mood suddenly improved.

He stretched out his hand to push Xue Yan's quilt away, and said softly: "The ground dragon is burning in the room, it's very hot. Yan'er be careful not to bore yourself."

Then before Xue Yan blew his hair, he quietly closed his eyes and began to pretend to be asleep.

But pretending to be pretending, he fell asleep.

Xue Yan took advantage of Wei Ziqi's deep sleep and secretly stared at Wei Ziqi for a long time, until sleepiness hit him, and slowly fell asleep.

Silent all night.

At dawn the next day, when Xue Yan got up, Wei Ziqi was no longer beside him.Stretching out his hand to touch it, even the quilt is cool, he must have already gone out to make inspections.

Xue Yan hugged the quilt and rolled on the couch, buried his head in the pillow and took a deep breath, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, before getting up to wash.

Then he visited Duke Zhen and his wife in the main courtyard, and flirted with Wei Jin Xiao Baozi once, and then he ordered the two little yellow gates to lead him back to the Sun Palace.

At that time, Princess Pingyang had already got up and was sitting in the hall having breakfast.Seeing Xue Yan's return, he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Yan'er had a good time last night, did you have breakfast?"

Of course Xue Yan replied that he played very well.It's just that he didn't have breakfast at the Gongdeyuan in the morning, and originally planned to come back to eat with his mother.

Hearing what Xue Yan said, Pingyang became more and more happy.He hurriedly ordered the maidservant to set up the bowls and chopsticks, and smiled happily: "Your father got up early and went on duty. I was worried that eating alone would not be good, so you came back. Sure enough, he is a good son of Auntie, and remember to accompany him. Madam has breakfast."

Xue Yan smiled slightly, chatted with Princess Pingyang, and asked, "I heard Aunt mentioned that our family also has a hot spring village in Lishan. When can I visit it?"

Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why do you think of this? How can there be a palace in our hot spring village. The springs are not as good, and the furnishings are not as good. The palace is more comfortable."

Xue Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to take a look."

Princess Pingyang said: "It's not a big deal. Anyway, His Majesty will stay in the palace for a while. Our hot spring village is on the halfway of Lishan Mountain, only a dozen miles away from the palace, half an hour away. The time has come. If you like it, when you want to go, just let me know."

Xue Yan nodded and thanked with a smile.The mother and son chatted again, and seeing that it was getting late, they went to Feishuang Hall and Yutang Jiulong Hall to greet His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor.

There was nothing important later, the mother and son took a group of palace eunuchs and started to visit Lishan.After visiting the eight sceneries of Lishan Mountain for three consecutive days, there was no other place to go, so I decided to go to my own hot spring village.

Winding down the mountain road, passing through the forest and crossing the water, within half an hour, he finally arrived at a mountain villa.

Compared with other palaces, the Zhuangzi is not too big. It is small and exquisite with about twenty houses.Double eaves and flying corners, white walls and blue tiles, and several thatched huts in the distance, low walls of yellow mud and rammed earth, but the top of the wall is covered with rice stalks.Several thatched huts are surrounded by hundreds of fruit trees, but the outside is divided into plots and acres of beautiful vegetables and flowers, which looks quite wild.

Princess Pingyang saw that Xue Yan was engrossed, so she smiled and said: "It's all your father's idea. What's the point of him insisting on planting some melons, fruits and vegetables for a good hot spring village. If it is according to my idea, it must be planted. Three or two acres of peach blossoms, when they come in March and April, the mountains and plains will be covered with clouds, so beautiful."

But Xue Yan thought of the green vegetables on his food table in winter, and couldn't help but defend his father: "I think it's good to grow vegetables. If not, our family won't have anything to eat in winter."

When Princess Pingyang heard this, she glanced at Xue Yan with her phoenix eyes, and lightly tapped Xue Yan's forehead with her slender jade fingers, and said with a soft snort, "I really follow your father. Rice oil is produced every day. Salt, I don’t understand any literati’s elegance.”

Xue Yan chuckled, touching his forehead while visiting the hot spring village with his mother.Seeing that there is a hillside with overgrown grass behind the villa, he smiled and pointed to the hillside and said, "If Auntie wants to grow peach blossoms, it is better to ask the tenants to plant one there. At that time, Auntie will be condescending, and the eyes will be full of pink clouds. Isn't it beautiful?"

Princess Pingyang glanced out following Xue Yan's finger, and said with a smile: "That piece of land does not belong to our family."

Xue Yan said: "It's not right now, A Niang turned around and said to Your Majesty, our family can just buy it with silver. Anyway, the land is there, and it is a waste to leave it unused."

Xue Yan said casually, but Princess Pingyang's heart moved slightly.Busy figuring it out.

As the princess of Dachu and the founding minister, Pingyang has been fighting for many years, and has received a lot of rewards for military exploits, and there is also a fief granted by the court, so there is no shortage of money.Not to mention Wei Guogong Xue Ji, Shishi Township has [-] households, and the wealth accumulated over the years of fighting is only more than her, no less than her.In addition to this, the two still have a monthly salary and income from strength classes.The Duke of Wei's mansion has a small population, and he is no better than other people leading his family. Xue Ji has a leisurely personality who has nothing to do but lead the army to fight.Moreover, the two of them have no intention of enjoying it because of Xue Yan's affairs all these years.

In addition, there are rewards from the palace and filial piety from Xiafeng every New Year's festival.Since Yan'er came back, there is an additional profit from selling white candies every year... Calculated in this way, Duke Wei's mansion has only been able to make money for many years, which is really not bad.

Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang looked at the grassy hillside behind the villa, and her heart became more and more fiery.

Xue Yan didn't know that Princess Pingyang was thinking about these things when she turned her mind.The two walked around in the villa, and when Xue Yan saw something that was not to his liking, he pointed it out with a blunt heart.

What should be built here are several pavilions for enjoying the flowers and the moon, made of white marble, and covered with light gauze around the pavilions.If the path at the foot is made of cobblestones to form patterns of flowers, plants, birds and animals, and apricot trees can be planted on both sides to lead directly to the spring, it means "the winding path leads to seclusion".And it also has the charm of "Apricot Blossoms and Rain".

If there is an open-air soup spring, it should be covered in the house, so as to save people from prying.The temperature in the villa is just right, Moruo built a few more greenhouses and planted some exotic flowers and herbs, just like those in Tangquan Palace.Or get some off-season vegetables and fruits.A water wheel can be built next to the hot spring, and the spring water will flow down, and it will be showered, which is called a shower.You can also bring in a stream of running water from the mountains, dig a hole to form a pool, and then ask the craftsmen to build some exquisite gadgets to create a water park...

All the sayings are taken from the various hot spring villas that later generations have visited.

Xue Yan babbled all the way, just to make Pingyang happy.After hearing this journey, Pingyang felt more and more concerned.Suddenly he said: "Since Yan'er is fine, why don't you draw some blueprints, and after the Spring Festival, I will order my servants to start construction and repair this Zhuangzi."

When Xue Yan heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's great. After Zhuangzi is completed, we will pave the road with cement and lead directly to Chang'an. It will be more convenient to travel by then."
